Great Pictures Blacky off the normal route taken by most travellers.
I might consider that route later although the Humpy is not ready for such a trip.
Golden Fleece Ute for the win so far.

I have been wondering how the Engine Temp has been going at Speed as you have A temperature gauge fitted.
Are you limiting you speed dependant on the Engine Temp?

Also, is the Ute you fitted the Cooling Shroud to the Radiator you were playing with? and if you tell if there is any improvement since fitting the Shroud?
Does that Engine have the High Duty Head Gasket from Have fitted, the ones Harv had made for members?

Looks like a great trip so far.
Enjoy,
Ed.
